Where is the value?

$55!!!! You have to be kidding. AT&T is not competitive at all. Look at what most cable companies are offering.... 10Mbps+ for around $45. AT&T has decided to save itself and shareholders a nickel now by implementing poor technology only to cost it's customers big in the long run.

Value.... yeah right!

Re: Where is the value?

Must be nice. 8 Mbps in my area from Comcast is $52.95 when bundled, $67 when it isn't. I don't have cable TV...

With Uverse, you are FORCED to purchase TV service.
$55 + the cheapest Uverse TV service ($57) = $112 + fees

They have dropped the mandatory TV thing. Even when they did have it you could drop uverse, keep dsl, and you would still physically be on uverse.

Internet standalone might be worth it.

Re: Where is the value?

Same price, same downloads, except you get 1mbit upload instead of 768 on the highest tier I think. Why not get Uverse Internet Vs ATT ADSL if its available?

Where do you live? Charter 10 Mbps is $70. Hell 5 Mbps is $60. That is if you have their cable service otherwise it's $10 more. I can get 6 mbps from at&t dsl for $43, $48 if I want naked DSL.

·RoadRunner Cable
In Austin TX, the only alternative I have is Time Warner Cable Road Runner.

Their pricing is not on their website. I called and this is what they told me. I am not sure if this includes a bundle-with-TV discount.

Lite 768K/128K $27
Std 7M/512K $45
Turbo 10M/1M $60

So for me AT&T is very competitive. I currently have DSL Elite (6M/768K) for $35/mo ($40 plus a $5 discount) and they gave me 3 free months for switching from cable. I find it to be very reliable, good latency, zero dropped packets. When I had Road Runner it killed my VoIP because of latency and packet drop issues.

So where do you get your 10 Mbps for $45?

RoadRunner charges me $54.95. The only reason I pay $49.95 is because I get a $5 discount for having other services (digital cable, HBO and DVR service), but the base price is still $54,95

And actually, $50 is about my max budget for internet, unless the connection is really worth it. (i'd pay $70 for a 15/15 FIOS line).
